In a statement, Ohaeri Joseph, the Special Assistant on Media to the Minister of Women Affairs, stated that the lawyer had been fleeing since news of her alleged crime broke on the internet.
Joseph also said that the weapons used to harm the child included a broken bottle, a knife, and an electric pressing iron.

The minister had earlier offered a N2 million reward for any information on the lawyer who disappeared after a video of her wrongdoing went viral

Days after the Minister of Women Affairs, Mrs Uju Ohanenye, placed a N2 million bounty on an Onitsha-based lawyer, Mrs Adachukwu Okafor, for child abuse in Onitsha, she has been arrested.

“The lady’s action, which went viral across various social media platforms, was alleged to have inflicted bodily harm on the minor.

“The lady has been on the run for weeks after being reported to have inflicted severe injuries on the minor, which prompted the minister to place a reward of N2 million for information on her whereabouts,” he said.

Ohaeri stated that the ministry would collaborate with the police to initiate an immediate investigation into the matter

The girl is still undergoing medical treatment in the hospital, but I can assure members of the public that she will get justice,” the statement added

Kanyi Daily recalls that the Anambra State Ministry of Women and Social Welfare had issued a warrant for the arrest of Mrs. Adachukwu Okafor.
